On Saturday, January 30, 2016 Lock-

heed Martin and Fincantieri Marinette

Marine (FMM) christened and launched

the future USS Sioux City (LCS 11),

the latest single-hull littoral combat

ship. The ceremony took place in

Marinette at the FMM shipyard.

ADM Michelle Howard, Vice Chief of Naval Operations, was the principalspeaker. Mary Winnefeld, wife of retiredADM James “Sandy” Winnefeld, ViceChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,will serve as the ship’s sponsor. The high-

light of the ceremony was when Mrs.Winnefeld smashed a champagne bottleacross the ship’s bow to execute the sidelaunch into the Menominee River.

“It is an honor and a privilege to serve asthe sponsor of the future USS Sioux Cityand to be a part of this major milestonealong the way to her assuming her placeas part of the great U.S. Navy fleet,” saidMrs. Winnefeld. “I also look forward toan ongoing relationship with her coura-geous crews and their families through-out the ship’s lifetime.”

“The Christening and launch of SiouxCity is a proud event for FMM,” said Jan

Allman, President and CEO of FMM.

“It showcases the craftsmanship and en-gineering capabilities of our workforce. We are confident that this ship will play avital role in the fleet, and carry the spiritof our industry team as she sails the globe.”

The future USS Sioux City is the firstnaval vessel to be named in honor ofSioux City, Iowa, the fourth-largest cityin the state. Sioux City was founded in1854 at the navigational head of the Missouri River and takes its name from a group of North American Indian tribesthat make up the Great Sioux Nation.

SPRING 2016

President’s MessageHello everyone. It’s hard to believe thatspring is here already. It has been a verybusy first quarter and many have askedwhen we will be having our next quar-terly communication. I plan to scheduleone for the second quarter of 2016. In the interim, we are cascading ourscorecard objectives and status on ourTV screens, team boards and yard wide communications.

To further stabilize and improve our metrics, the focus of the Senior Leader-ship Team (SLT) during the first quarterhas been on reorganization. Two keyareas of reorganization we have com-pleted are in PP&C and Manufacturing.This year will be very challenging for us as we have seven (7) hulls under production with three (3) scheduled todeliver in 2016.

We now have three (3) key functionalareas in the shipyard at the director level.

Dave Tomlin — SOC 1-4Andrea Tanferna — Building 10Diego Balzano and Joe English —Co-Directors of the Waterfront

This restructuring provides dedicatedleadership in each of these areas andhelps us to fully utilize our talent andfocus on execution.

In the reorganization, manpower plan-ning moved from Manufacturing toPP&C. This provides a more centralizedapproach in the deployment of resources.It also ensures that we can employ theresources where they are most neededand allows the hull managers more timeto focus on their core work.

The second part of the PP&C reorganization moved sub-contractingmanagement and vendor support fromPurchasing to PP&C. This enables us tobetter control/manage our cost andschedule.

Our latest area of improvement is anewly established “Tiger Team,” whosegoal is to develop a standard Bill of Ma-terial (BOM) and stabilize “should cost”and “ship configuration” data for the LCSships. This team will:

a. Update the LCS design data with all modifications currently in the backlog

b. Update cost information for each ship

c. Review and revise procedures to update the ship configurationdatabase going forward

d. Review IT systems required to maintain ship configuration, with special focus on inter-connection and alignment of the engineering, supply chain and manufacturing databases

We have developed key milestones forthis project, and I will update you on itsprogress and impact as we move throughthis year. Finally, I want to provide youwith an update on the program itself. Asyou are aware, there is a recommendationfrom the Secretary of Defense to reducethe number of LCS ships from 52 to 40and to down select to one variant. Thisreduction is not supported by the Secre-tary of the Navy, but it has polarizes thepolitical landscape.

Earlier this month, I spent two days onCapitol Hill with Lockheed Martin; andour supply base spent an additional dayon the Hill meeting with over 40 Con-gressmen and Senators. The purpose ofthese meetings was to present anoverview of the LCS Freedom Class Pro-gram that showcased the ship’s capabili-ties, and the affordability of the programwith a 52 block buy.

We requested a “call to action” fromevery person with whom we met. Weurged them to support USN LCS ship-building and the 52 ship requirement —including supporting the three (3) shipbuy in FY 17 and FY 18. These meetingsmake a difference and we hope they havea positive influence on the future of ourprogram. We have many advocates forthe program, however this process takestime and its impact may not be realizedquickly.

As a Company, we must remain focused inour key areas of daily execution:

1. Maintaining and driving our safety,care and protection in every buildingand on every hull.

2. Striving for quality, building our modules and hulls right the first time, eliminating errors.

We need to continue to look for ways toimprove our efficiencies and/or lower our cost so we can deliver our ships on plan.

Sincerely, Jan

The ceremony represents a significantcontribution to Sioux City’s long, richhistory of ties to America’s men andwomen in uniform. “I chose the name forthis littoral combat ship from America’sheartland to honor the patriotic, hard-working citizens of Sioux City, and fortheir support of and contributions to the military,” Secretary of the Navy RayMabus stated four years ago when he announced the naming of USS Sioux City.“The christening and launch marks animportant step toward this great war-ship’s entry into the fleet,” Mabus con-tinued. “The hard work and dedication of our nation’s shipbuilders have ensuredthis ship will serve as a representation of both Sioux City and our Navy andMarine Corps’ ability to deliver presencefor decades to come.”

Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott was among a group of city leaders in Marinette forthe events surrounding the christeningand launch of Sioux City. “From now, for at least 50 years, there will be a shipout on the ocean that’ll have our name on it and I think that’s kind of cool,”Scott said.

The construction of the future USSSioux City began in 2013. Following theJanuary christening and launch, SiouxCity will continue to undergo outfittingand testing before delivery and commis-sioning by the Navy in 2017.

The 53 core crew members will be based in Mayport, FL, and will operateacross the Asian-Pacific.

January 2016 – Fincantieri MarinetteMarine (FMM) conducted a mast-stepping ceremony for Sioux City (LCS11) in Marinette on Friday, January 29th.In attendance were the crew of the future USS Sioux City, representativesfrom the U.S. Navy (SUPSHIP), Lockheed Martin, the Pre-Commission-ing Unit (PCU) for Sioux City (LCS 11)and the Mayor of Sioux City, Iowa.

In current naval tradition, coins andother items that highlight the heritage of the ship are placed in a container and welded into the mast. The coins aremeant to bring the ship luck as well as"pay the crew's way" in the event theship sinks - an ode to the shipbuildingtradition that dates back to the ancientGreeks and Romans.

Joining Mary Winnefeld, theship's sponsor, in placing coinsand other artifacts representing

the heritage of the ship and namesakecity into the container were the ship'sprospective commanding officers, CDRKen Lieberman and CDR Shockey Snyder, distinguished guests from Sioux City, Iowa, and the LCS Team.

In the container was an industry Chris-tening coin, a plank owner coin, a LCSSquadron 2 Challenge Coin, and severalother artifacts representing the sponsorand name sake.

FMM will seal and weld the containerinto the ship's mast near delivery.

Following the ceremony, Mrs. Winnefeldtoured the ship for the first time. Shemet a number of FMM shipbuilders asshe walked the Airborne Mission Zone(AMZ), bridge, and common crew areas.She thanked those she met for the hardwork that had gone into building this remarkable ship. 4

our backlog to 2021. With the current

workload constant or increasing for

the foreseeable future, we all need to

keep pressing, in every SOC, every day,

in order to meet the performance goals

of each milestone. The quarterly Ship-

building Production Progress Confer-

ence (SPPC) with the customer was

held this month, we had much to brag

about, let’s keep it that way!

January 2016 – The Lasker was conduct-ing research in the Pacific Ocean, ~350nm offshore in the San Diego area. Duringa slow speed tow along the surface of thewater they deployed the MANTA (Neuston)net and captured a Paper Nautilus.

Paper Nautilus (Argonauts), are a groupof pelagic octopuses. They are calledpaper nautiluses, referring to the paper-thin eggcase that females secrete.

The Argonauts are found in tropical andsubtropical waters worldwide; they live inthe open ocean. Of its names, “argonaut”means sailor on the Argo; “nautilus”meaning sailor, because itwas formerly supposed thatArgonauta used their shell-secretingarms as sailswhen they wereat the surface.

Alan Bird (FMM) Nominated for Award

February 2016 – Fincantieri Marinette Marine would like torecognize the managers who met their goals for safety ob-servations in 2015. The SCOPE program was implementedin 2013 and has played a major role in reducing injuries inthe Facility. The goal of the SCOPE program is to recog-nize safety as an important part of day-to-day activities. An important pillar of the SCOPE program is to “seesafety” in aspects of every job. Recognizing fall hazards,deck openings,proper tooling, bodyposition and manyothers are all impor-tant parts of “seeingsafety.” FMM inci-dent rates were over9.0 in 2012. Since theinception of theSCOPE program incident rates havedecreased by almost two thirds.

With continued support of the SCOPE program and buy-in

from all FMM employees, we will continue to push for zeroincidents. With everyone’s support we will reach this goalin 2016. Thanks to all for keeping safety in mind in 2015 andfor years to come.

For their 2015 achievements, our safety department wouldlike to recognize the following: Jeff Anderson, WilliamBezio, Dan Bourdeau, Adam Bourdelais, David Brandon,John Coyne, Chris DeMeuse, Terry Denny, Curt Dolata,

Camera Usage in theFMM ShipyardThis should serve as a quick reminder aboutFMM rules on cameras and photography.Only authorized photography is permitted at FMM.When pictures are taken and intended for dissemination externally, the FMM Ex-port Compliance Manager mustbe consulted before the pic-tures are sent. FMM isguided by very specific export rules and photography at FMM isstrictly controlled. Remem-ber that the entire LittoralCombat Ship is a defense article. Therefore, all exportsmust be reviewed to ensure that they are in compliance with theInternational Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Photography should only be done by using FMM issued or approved cameras. Engineering and area managers havecameras issued to them by FMM. These cameras have beenchecked-in by security. Each FMM and contractor camerahave an accompanying media card to confirm that it hasbeen authorized by Security, and the person responsible for the camera is aware of the FMM photography rules.

Unfortunately, there is always the temptation for someoneto share unauthorized pictures on social media. This activ-ity is likely to result in severe consequences for whomevertook the unauthorized pictures.

The ONLY TIMEphotography in theshipyard is authorizedfor general distribu-tion is when the ship-yard is open to visitorsfor a ship launch. Onthese occasions greatpreparations are madeto ensure the yard isready for general photography by visitors.

Mobile Security SeriesPart 4 of 5

Did you know your personal cell phone or tablet may have

security vulnerabilities?

According to Gartner’s ”Predictions2014: Mobile Security Won’t Just BeAbout the Device,” 75 percent of mobile apps will fail basic security testsin 2015. Mobile Security can be brokendown into 5 categories; Physical Lossand Theft, Malware, Insecure Wi-Fi,Exploitation of Mobile Apps, and Pri-vacy and Caution.

This newsletter feature is the fourth ofthis 5-part series:

Part 4 - Exploitation of Mobile AppsAccording to TrendsLabs, out of the1.4 million high-risk or malicious mobile apps in the Android market, 53% of these are classified as premiumservice abusers. Premium service abuser

mobile apps are capable of accessing the SD card data of the mobile device,monitoring and reading messages, send-ing out predefined messages, accessingand viewing contact lists and trackinglocations. Some are even able to registervictims to overpriced services while adware aggressively pushes ads and caneven collect personal information with-out the victim’s consent. Since someapps may have hidden behaviors thatcan steal private data, modify user set-tings and initiate unauthorized mes-sages and transactions:

• Download mobile apps from legitimate app stores

• Download only mobile appswith good ratings and reviews

• Install security software to detect mobile apps containingmalware

• Minimize the installation of unnecessary mobile apps

• Keep software up to date forsoftware bug fixes and securityvulnerabilities

• Security Update of SoftwareFor instance, Apple released anupdate for its iOS 6 and iOS 7 operating systems to provide afix for the SSL connection verifi-cation issue. Without installingthe update, iPhone and iPad devices are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, whichmean attackers can spy on userconnections to websites over untrusted Wi-Fi network that aresupposed to be using encryptedcommunications.

The FMM Hotline Task Force Teamwants to know if you have witnessed any unsafe practices, quality of work issues, theft, or breach of security throughout any FMM building or the yard.
